Handmade Haida Bear Brass Repousse Pendant with Genuine Abalone Inlay - Native American Artisan Jewelry for Necklace & Gift Giving

Product Description

This Bear Pendant has been hand-carved and hammered in brass by Haida artist Derek White. The repoussé (hammered) finish adds a special dimensionality and textured finish to the silver surface. It features two inlays of abalone in the eyes of the Bear.

The Bear Symbol represents strength, family, vitality courage and health. The bear is thoughtful and independent, with little need for fellowship. The bear is also self-contained and strong-willed in nature. A Bear is of great support and comfort to those who crave human company simply for personal reassurance rather than for the simple pleasure of being with friends. He makes lonely periods of life far easier.
